On November 14, Beijing time, the key battle between the Chinese men's football team and Bahrain in the top 18 is about to start. Wu Lei, the captain of the national football team who left the team early after being injured, has quietly returned to China and appeared at the training base in the harbor.
It can be seen from the exposed video that Wu Lei appeared in public in civilian clothes, he was surrounded by several fans, signed the jerseys in their hands, and then left in a hurry. And several fans also cheered for Wu Lei after getting the autograph: "Come on, Brother Lei, return to the arena as soon as possible!" ”
Regarding Aijun's injury, Harbour coach Muscat publicly responded in the latest interview: "After a year of working together, it can be said that I know Wu Lei better than most people in China, and what I say next is not my personal opinion, but the facts. ”
"First of all, from the club level, including Wu Lei's personal level, he has tried his best to participate in every training camp and every game of the national team, especially in the window of the past two international breaks, Wu Lei has also tried his best to catch up with the national team's training camp. He also went to the hospital for two injections to try his best to go to the national team to compete. For the sake of the national team, the last time Wu Lei was able to have a full rest time may be back in the 2022 season. ”
In the previous match against Kawasaki in Harbour, Wu Lei suffered edema from his old knee injury after flying and arrived in Japan, and he could not continue to play, so he returned to Shanghai from Japan and flew to Dubai again to meet with the national team. In the past 4-5 days, the continuous long-distance flight has made his knee injury even more serious. I know the most about Wu Lei's situation and information, but in fact, I am the person who has the most right to speak. What we need to do now is to provide the best medical rehabilitation support for Wu Lei, hoping to help Wu Lei recover as quickly as possible through these measures. ”
Previously, Wu Lei missed the World Preliminary Tournament in November due to injury, and he left the team early to return to China, which also caused controversy and discussion in the outside world. Especially when he missed 4 consecutive games in the round of 18, he was able to play 3 Chinese Super League games and 1 AFC Champions League game for Harbour during this period, especially in the final round of the Chinese Super League against Jinmen Tigers, Wu Lei scored 5 goals in the whole game, helping the team successfully defeat Shenhua by 1 point to defend the title. Soon after the game, Wu Lei was exposed to the recurrence of his old injury, and then had no choice but to withdraw from the national football list.
At present, Wu Lei has confirmed that he will miss the round of 18 matches between the national football team and Japan, and 9 days later, the FA Cup final between Harbour and Taishan, Wu Lei will be able to play at that time is also a question.
